Why does my Fortnox invoiced total look off for invoices in another currency?
The Fortnox help pages give 4 common reasons. The first to rule out: The date on a quote, order or invoice decides which exchange rate it uses, so two invoices for the same foreign amount can be worth different amounts in kronor.
Is it broken, or just quiet?
A number can fall because fewer people came, or because something stopped counting them. Below are the causes the Fortnox help pages give, and how to check each one yourself.
What causes it?
The date on a quote, order or invoice decides which exchange rate it uses, so two invoices for the same foreign amount can be worth different amounts in kronor.
In the Fortnox help:
Offertdatum, orderdatum eller fakturadatum är vad som styr vilken valutakurs som används på det aktuella dokumentet.

In the Fortnox help:
Om du först skapar en offert, hämtas valutakursen baserat på offertdatum.

In the Fortnox help:
Oavsett inställning kan du givetvis manuellt ändra till valfri kurs när du skapar kundfakturan.

In the Fortnox help:
Ingen svensk moms läggs på fakturan – istället ska köparen redovisa momsen i sitt land.

How do I check it myself?
Check the VAT choice on the invoice itself, since it takes priority over the customer's usual VAT type.
In the Fortnox help:
Momsvalet som görs på kundfakturan går före den momstyp som är förvald på kundkortet.

In the Fortnox help:
Valutakursen kommer då automatiskt att hämtas och uppdateras för aktuellt fakturadatum.

In the Fortnox help:
Kurserna hämtas från Riksbanken, som uppdaterar kurserna en gång varje vardag.

How would I know the day it starts?
- Feder reads the amount you invoiced in Fortnox each day and compares each day with your own history.
- It does not read your exchange rates. It tells you when invoicing goes quiet or moves outside its usual range.
Some numbers are too quiet to judge daily, such as a form filled in a few times a week. Until there is enough of your own history to judge a change, Feder says it is still learning and scores nothing, rather than guessing.
See what Feder reads from Fortnox, which feeds Money. Feder only reads. It never changes anything in Fortnox.
